Top quark and W/Z results from the Tevatron

We summarize results of some crucial measurements of the top quark and W/Z boson properties carried out by the D0 and the CDF collaborations at the Tevatron collider at Fermilab based on data collected during Run 1 (1992-96). Among the interesting properties measured are the pair-production cross section and the mass of the top quark, and the mass and the width of the W boson. Searches for singly produced top quarks and for certain non-standard production and decays of the top quark, as well as studies of angular correlations in the production and decay of the top quarks are also presented. Expectations from the ongoing Run 2 of the Tevatron, presently in its second year, are discussed
